VEHICLE FEATURE TIPS

OWNER’S MANUAL, FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS GUIDE

Many of the Tips presented below are covered in greater detail

in the Owner’s Manual, Multimedia System Manuals, Features

and Functions Guide and Quick-Start Guide hangtag supplied

with your new vehicle.

VOICE RECOGNITION1AND BLUETOOTH®2

Using Voice Recognition

Improve Bluetooth®2 Voice Recognition (VR)

performance by making a few simple changes to your

phone contacts:

• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short

or single syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,”

“Smith Residence” vs. “Home”).

• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and

hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).

• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE”

or “In Case of Emergency”) or words with all

capital letters.

• Spell words completely; system will not recognize

abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).

• Always wait for the beep before speaking

any commands.

• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural,

moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The

system may have trouble recognizing commands if

you speak too soft or too loud.

• Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an

A/C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere

with VR accuracy.

• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding

some accents or uncommon names.

• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of

available commands.

Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth®2

• Press the Phone hard key (if equipped) or “Call”

button on the steering wheel to begin the pairing

process if no phone has previously been paired.

• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones,

reference the manuals and guides supplied with your

Stinger as steps vary by radio.

• During the pairing process, please make sure you

accept all requests for phonebook download and

future auto-connection on your phone.

• If you experience any issues with auto-connection,

try the following:

• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).

• Update the phone operating system to the most

recently released version.

• Delete the phone from the UVO display and the

UVO display from the phone, and re-pair.

• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth®2

feature activated.

• If some contacts are not downloading to the UVO

display, check to confirm that the contact has been

entered correctly and that it has been stored under the

categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone®3) that are

supported by the UVO display. Some contact categories

(MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not be supported. If the

number of contacts exceeds the maximum number

allowed on the UVO display, contacts will be partially

downloaded. Ensure that only the “phone contact list” is

selected for contact download on your phone (not social

media or email contact lists as these contacts may not

download to the UVO display).

• Phone operating systems change frequently and some

phones may have varying compatibility levels with the

Bluetooth®2 system. For any questions regarding the

features of your vehicle, please contact your preferred

Kia dealer or contact Kia Consumer Assistance at

1-800-333-4542.

Other Bluetooth®2 Tips

• Bluetooth®2 reception is affected by carrier coverage

and is dependent on the phone.

• If streaming audio through Bluetooth®2 from a device,

ensure the listening volume on the device is turned up.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION

Satellite radio reception requires direct line of sight with the satellite transmitting

the radio signal. Tunnels, bridges, covered parking, mountainous terrain, tall buildings,

heavy foliage, and other obstacles may momentarily interrupt the signal. This is

normal operation, and reception will be restored within a few seconds in an open,

unobstructed area.

The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the satellite

repeater network.

SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY1

Apple CarPlayTM3

Your vehicle offers you effortless command of your compatible iPhone®when you connect

through Apple CarPlayTM on your UVO display. This will enable you to make calls, send hands-free

texts, access your favorite music and apps, and get navigation help with Siri®voice control.

To connect Apple CarPlay, visit https://youtu.be/N1FQ1VqDt4A.

Android AutoTM3

Your vehicle allows you to connect to your compatible AndroidTM phone via Android Auto on your

UVO display. Through this feature, you can access music, your phone’s dialer, navigation help and

more with an intuitive interface and voice commands. You can even access your phone through

your steering wheel controls.

To connect Android Auto, visit https://youtu.be/QPV7y06-RJ4.

USB PORTS AND USE OF CABLES

Vehicle may contain USB port(s) for playing music from a compatible media device as well as USB port(s) for charging.

Note: Devices will only be recharged when the vehicle is in ACC/ON/Start position. If you encounter difficulty plugging in a

USB device, change the orientation of the device (may be upside down). Always use the USB charging cable that has been

certified by the phone manufacturer. Use of aftermarket cables is NOT recommended as they may affect functionality.

Collision Warning

Emergency Braking

The FCA-Ped5is designed to help alert the driver, and under certain conditions if necessary,

apply emergency braking, when rapidly approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking

or stopped. Initially, the FCA-Ped5provides FCW5when it detects a potential collision with

a vehicle in front by emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster.

Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. To turn the FCA-Ped/

FCW5off, go to User Settings again and turn off.

If the system detects possible imminent collision, under certain conditions, the FCA-Ped5

automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, helping minimize the effects of a

possible collision. FCA-Ped4can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument

Cluster display.

The FCA-Ped/FCW5will become active when the:

following practices can help reduce window fogging:

• Keeping the inside of the glass as clean as possible.

• Utilizing the Defrost Mode A, which activates the A/C and opens Fresh Air Vent.

• Adjusting the Temperature Control Bto the desired temperature.

PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM5
